Virtual CIO

The Challenge: Technology and the CEO

Thriving organizations manage and execute their IT in line with their most important objectives. The inability to align IT with the company’s changing business model is a universal problem that has been defined as one of the greatest challenges of business today.

However, most company executives find that the IT Ecosystem is difficult to manage in terms of the business structure. They often must rely on the COO, CFO or even the CEO to direct executive decisions because they cannot afford a full-time, fully-trained CIO or VP of IT.
